Launch into Summer!

UNIVERSE OF STORIES: June 29-August 17. Any time we are open, kids ages 5-12 can come in to tell us about what they’ve been reading to get prizes and raffle chances. We will have special events through the summer.

Parents, ask us about how to help your child love reading, and make the pledge to read 15 minutes a day alongside your child. It will keep their skills sharp over the summer and launch a lifelong habit.
